    wind protection

    I have a 2006 shelby and need to extend the windsheild. I've sent some videos and pics of similar boats with what appears to be a clamp on wind sheild extention. Anyone know where I can find this or something similar?

    You have to look close to see them but they are on there! I have tested them to over 85 mph and they really do stop the wind. I only use them on cooler days. http://www.windaway.com/

    Wind Away

    [ QUOTE=$originalposter]{$pagetext}[/QUOTE]

    I took your advice and ordered one of these. What crap I rec'd. The shield is a thin flimzy plastic that is NOT a see through plastic. It's gray, textured plastic nothing like what's in your picture. And $70 bucks for this?

    it is not the answer for everyone, but it works like a charm for me.

    Absolutly no wind noise and I can wear my hat at 75.

    Biz, I am sorry to hear that. If you don't like it and it's not what is shown on their web site I would send it back. Can you post a pic? I'd really like to see one. Here is a better pic of mine and they hold up in the mid 80s. BTW, it took 2 days to post this reply with the server issues....

    It literally took 15 minutes for my previous post to go up.
    Anyway, I wanted to add that I think they are better suited for the aluminum fairings like I have which of course are thinner and lower than the standard windshield.

    Carl, are yours from Finney's? I always thought that those were pretty decent for quality.

    Greg, quote function not working. Mine are Wind-Aways. I posted a link earlier in this thread. If they are shipping colored and textured plastic now then that sucks because one thing I like about them is that they are nearly invisible and only go on for cool days or long, fast cruises.

    biggiefl,

    I have a set that I made for my ss windshield that works pretty good. There are pictures on here somewhere but I can't find them. I'll try to find them and post again.
